Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?
When your AC starts acting up, how do you know if it’s better to repair or replace? It’s a tough decision, but we’re here to help.
Here are a few things to think about:
- How Old is Your AC? If your system is 10-15 years old, it’s likely less efficient and might be due for an upgrade. A new system could lower your energy bills and prevent frequent breakdowns.
- Repair Costs Adding Up? If repairs are becoming more expensive and frequent, replacing the unit might make more sense financially.
- Comfort Issues? If you’re dealing with high humidity or uneven temperatures, it could be time for an upgrade.
At Climatemakers of VA, we’ll break down your options and give you honest advice, always keeping long-term savings and comfort in mind.
Thinking green? A new AC isn’t just good for your wallet—it’s good for the planet. Newer systems use eco-friendly refrigerants and consume less energy, reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills at the same time.
Preparing Your Home for an AC Replacement
If you want to make sure the installation process goes smoothly and quickly, there are some steps you can take to support a smooth process.
Here's what you can do to prepare:
- Clear the Way: Remove any furniture, decorations, or clutter from the areas where your indoor and outdoor AC units will be installed. This gives technicians space to work and protects your belongings.
- Check Your Ducts (If Applicable): If you have existing ductwork, have it inspected for leaks, damage, or poor insulation. Addressing these issues before installation can set your system up for maximum efficiency.
- Consider Upgrades: Now's a great time to upgrade attic, wall, or floor insulation if needed. Better insulation helps support a cooler indoor environment, thereby reducing the amount of time your AC needs to run.
- Discuss Electrical Needs: Your new AC might have electrical requirements different from those of your old system. Ask your Climatemakers of VA technician to assess your home's electrical setup and discuss any needed upgrades.
- Plan for Outdoor Space: Make sure there's enough clear space for your outdoor AC unit. Technicians may need to remove some landscaping temporarily, so it's good to be aware.
Frequently Asked Questions About AC INstallations
Are There Restrictions on Outdoor AC Units in Portsmouth’s Townhouses or Condos?
Check with your HOA for specific regulations on noise, placement, or approval requirements.
Are Ductless Mini-Splits a Good Option for Older Homes?
Yes! Ductless systems are a great way to add AC to historic homes without major renovations and allow for zoned control.
How Often Should I Service My AC?
To keep your system in top shape, schedule maintenance at least once a year—preferably in the spring, before summer hits. Regular service helps avoid breakdowns and keeps your warranty intact.
What’s the Right Size AC for My Home?
Choosing the right size is essential. Too big, and you waste energy. Too small, and your home won’t stay cool. We’ll conduct a detailed evaluation of your home to ensure your new system is perfectly sized for maximum comfort and efficiency.
Can a New AC Increase My Home’s Value?
Yes! A new, efficient AC system is a huge selling point, especially in Portsmouth’s hot summers. It adds value by lowering future energy bills and ensuring reliable comfort for potential buyers.
